Task Description:(T)
World War II is over and the victorious leaders of the Allies are meeting to discuss the ultimate fate of Axis countries. Many people are concerned that because of propaganda events that happened at the Treaty of Versailles at the end of World War I will happen again. In a response committee has been made to prove to the leaders of the Allied nations that World War II was not the fault of any person or country. To do this the committee has access to new technology which you will use to make an unbiased presentation of why World War II happened and how it could have been prevented. You will be assigned a specific country in which to describe specifically the events that occurred there which lead to World War II and how those events could have been different.
